Re: Radius Thunder 24/GT resolutions

Has anyone figured out the format for the monitor list/timings in the Radius software? I don’t get great results at 1600x1200 with my Thunder IV because the LCD that I have it going into really prefers the VESA frequencies (it’s 1600x1200 native), and I wind up with ghosting and such at the

Re: Macintosh SE keyboard power button?

The keyboard you’re referring to is technically the “Apple Keyboard” and not specific to the Macintosh SE. In fact, for most if not all of the Macintosh SE’s life, the keyboard was sold separately and you could buy either the Apple Keyboard or the Apple Extended Keyboard (replaced in late 1989

Re: Very old and odd Nubus video card

My guess is it’s a RasterOps or equivalent two-page display card. From the start Radius cards looked like they were made by Apple in terms of their identifying markings, and even their part numbering scheme. The best thing you can do is (1) cover the window on the EPROM to ensure it doesn’t

Re: Quantum Prodrive not recognized

Mini vMac is a good nearly-turnkey emulation solution. Very simple to get going with and to use to set up disk images, even if you can’t boot some of them. (It’ll only emulate up to a Mac II, so it can’t boot a Mac OS 7.6 Disk Tools image, but you can still use it to patch the Apple HD Setup

Re: Quantum Prodrive not recognized

Apple HD Setup is an application that's usually on a Disk Tools disk alongside Disk First Aid. By design the Disk Tools disks are bootable, so they can be used to repair/recover the primary hard disk. (Prior to System 7, they were the Utilities disks.) -- Chris Sent from my iPad > On Sep
